A Defence of Monasticism

Why has monasticism endured for more than 1,500 years? A Defence of Monasticism examines the place of monastic life within Christianity and responds to arguments that question its right to exist.

Drawing on the witness of generations of ascetics and the writings of St Basil the Great, St Gregory the Theologian, and St Theodore the Studite, this thoughtful theological work considers monasticism’s roots in Christian history and its role as a stronghold and adornment of the Church.

Inside this book

  • A historical and theological defence of monasticism
  • Reflections on ascetic witness and Christian tradition
  • A discussion of how individual failures should be distinguished from the monastic vocation itself

Includes the discussion excerpted from pages 9–10.
